# Shivani Thakur > Senior Product Designer at DoorDash Location: San Francisco Bay Area, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/shivani Hi there! I’m a product designer who likes to design by observing, questioning and exploring. The 3 tools I always fallback on are– user research, data and my design intuition. I consistently strive to create designs that are first and foremost functional but have an equal focus on being user-friendly and viscerally fun. My job as a designer is to vouch for the right balance between all three, never sacrificing one for the other.
